Babar Azam’s performances with the bat have had no effect on his popularity, which was on full show as he arrived in Australia for his return to international cricket.
The former captain was among the first members of the traveling group to depart for Australia following the announcement of the squads. When he arrived, fans welcomed him with pictures and well wishes.
The 30-year-old is returning to international cricket after missing the past two matches against England. He will play three ODIs and three T20Is to regain his batsmanship before resting for the Zimbabwe series.
With the responsibility of leadership lifted, Babar Azam can concentrate on confronting Australia’s bowling lineup and getting back to doing what he does best: scoring plenty of runs.
The remainder of the Pakistani squad is set to arrive in Australia today.
The Pakistan squad will start practicing in Melbourne on November 1st, with the first ODI scheduled on November 4th. Babar is anticipated to be in the playing XI, which is getting a fresh look after PCB’s recent revamp.
